Definitions
- the present invention concerns improvements in measuring weft feeders for fluid jet looms, namely those special weft yarn feeders from which the yarn is drawn by the main nozzle of the loom and the yarn turns being unwound from the weft feeder drum are counted through an appropriate system.
- the present invention proposes to solve the problems arising just after the weft yarn has been stopped and, in particular, to provide for an efficient blocking of said yarn just after it has been cut by the appropriate cutting devices of the loom.
- the present invention now proposes instead to thoroughly solve the problem by means of a totally new device, which is able to firmly block the weft yarn at the outlet of the weft feeder while its cutting takes place in the loom.
- the core is suitably cylindrical and its diameter is wider than that of the channel crossed by the weft yarn, while the contrast surface of the bush comprises a bottom layer of damping material and a covering of shockproof and wear resistant material.
- the spring return means which consist of a cylindrical helical spring, tend to keep the core in tight engagement with said contrast surface inside the channel, so as to block the weft yarn
- said electromagnetic means which consisting of a coil surrounding said core, when energized, lead said core out of the channel, causing it to disengage from said surface and to release the weft yarn, leaving it free to cross the channel of the device.
- FIG. 1 is an axial section view of the device, showing the weft yarn blocking core and the spring means associated thereto in an inactive condition;
- FIG. 2 is an axial section view of the device, showing the weft yarn blocking core and the spring means associated thereto in an active condition.
- the device to block the weft yarn of the present invention essentially consists of a single elongated body 1 with longitudinal axis 2, comprising an inlet cone 3 and a cylindrical channel 4 meant to be crossed by the weft yarn F, the cone 3 and the channel 4 being aligned with their axes coinciding with the axis 2 of the body 1.
- the device is meant to be associated to measuring weft feeders for fluid jet looms, to which it is applied by way of the cone 3 just downstream of the outlet yarn guide and/or of the antiballoon device of said feeders.
- the body 1 of the device according to the invention comprises moreover a cylindrical core 5 to block the weft yarn F, movable into a guide 6 perpendicularly to the axis 2 and adapted to penetrate into the channel 4 through a transversal opening 7 thereof.
- Electromagnetic means in the form of a coil 8 surround the core 5, onto which there also acts a cylindrical helical spring 9.
- a bush 11 is associated to the channel 4 in correspondence of the opening 7, so as to form a contrast surface 10 onto which the core 5 engages in order to block the weft yarn F.
- the contrast surface 10 comprises a bottom layer of damping material and a covering of shockproof and wear resistant material.
- the device according to the invention is normally inactive (FIG. 1) to allow the weft yarn F to freely cross the channel 4.
- the coil 8 which, overcoming the action of the return spring 9, causes the core 5 to move backward (as shown in FIG. 1) disengaging from the surface 10, and leads said core out of the channel 4.
- the device becomes active (FIG. 2), in that the spring 9 pushes the core 5 into the opening 7 of the channel 4 (as shown in FIG. 2) and presses it against the contrast surface 10 of the bush 11, so as to block the weft yarn F, crossing said channel, between the core 5 and the surface 10.
- the device according to the invention is inactive (FIG. 1) when the weft yarn F is being inserted into the loom; during this step, the yarn is free to slide through the channel 4, the core 5 being kept out of the opening 7 by the coil 8, suitably energized, which attracts it against the action of the return spring 9.
- the device becomes active (FIG. 2) at the end of the weft yarn insertion step, by de-energizing the coil 8: the spring 9 thus moves the core 5 back into the opening 7 of the channel 4 so as to block the weft yarn F against the surface 10 of the bush 11. In this condition, the yarn can no longer slide through the channel 4, nor loosen around the drum of the measuring weft feeder.
- the de-energizing of the coil 8, to turn the device active is carried out somewhat later than the issue of the last signal indicating that the weft yarn turns have unwound from the drum of the measuring weft feeder, namely when the weft yarn has positively stopped (at the end of insertion in the loom), and before it is cut by the appropriate means provided in the loom. It is actually in this step that the weft yarn is kept firmly gripped between the core 5 and the contrast surface 10, and it remains in this condition during cutting and up to start of the following insertion.
- the object of the invention is thereby reached. It is in fact just after the cutting step that the oscillations on the weft yarn may be produced, involving the previously described inconveniences.
- the device of the invention thus proves to be extremely helpful to eliminate such drawbacks, as it prevents undesired waves travelling backwards from the loom cutting devices through the launching nozzle from extending up to the weft yarn length between the yarn guide at the outlet of the measuring weft feeder (and now the device of the invention) and the yarn reserve drum, thereby ruffling the yarn turns wound thereon.
- the core 9 is then returned to its inactive position by energizing the coil 8 and thus freeing again the channel 4 at the start of the next weft yarn insertion.
- the device according to the invention is normally associated to a measuring weft feeder, so as to form an integrating part thereof, by way of its inlet cone 3 acting as an efficient element of connection with the antiballoon device usually provided at the outlet of said feeders.
- said device can be simply mounted downstream of the outlet yarn guide of the measuring weft feeder.
- the device of the present invention is full of advantageous properties, which contribute to the efficient operation of the weft feeders to which said device is associated and of the looms adopting such feeders.
- advantageous properties which contribute to the efficient operation of the weft feeders to which said device is associated and of the looms adopting such feeders.
- the device of the invention is adapted to complete a nozzle for the automatic insertion of the weft yarn, whereby, connected to other devices commonly used on measuring weft feeders for fluid jet looms, it allows to obtain the full insertion of the weft yarn from the inlet to the outlet of the feeder.
- the device of the invention can be mounted on automatic systems provided to mend the weft yarn, wherein it may be required to launch the yarn through the weft feeder up to the loom nozzle.
- the device of the invention can be easily connected at the outlet of a funnel-shaped antiballoon device.
- the device of the invention when inactive, leaves the channel crossed by the yarn totally free, and thus by no means hinders the sliding of the yarn during its insertion.
- the device of the invention facilitates the operation of manual reinstatement of the weft yarn reserve, preventing when the yarn winding member starts to operate, said yarn from being pulled backward towards the weft feeder drum, thereby slipping out of the operator's hand and thus requiring to be inserted again into the antiballoon device, or into the yarn guide eyelet at the outlet of the feeder.
- the device of the invention is controlled directly by the weft feeder and thus operates in full synchronism with the actual position of the weft yarn, with no need to use any further mechanical elements connected to the loom, or any sensors or signals to establish said synchronism.
- the action of the device and of the core to block the weft yarn can be obtained through electromagnetic means, instead of spring means, while spring means could be used to stop the action of said device; likewise, use could be made of electromagnetic means, either on their own, or combined with spring means, both to make the device active and to keep it inactive.
